Who would lie for her?
Mu Nuanzhou was exhausted, and while waiting to deal with Xiao Zhan, he actually fell asleep in a daze.
Half of her snow-white shoulders were exposed. When the cold wind blew, it caused her delicate skin to be covered in a layer of chicken skin. When she regained consciousness, it was already daybreak.
"I'm finished, I'm finished. I won't return home last night, I'm sure this mama is very anxious. How will you explain me when I go back later?" Mu Nuanzhou powerlessly got off the bed with his blanket wrapped around himself. Seeing the new clothes on the Three Fiends cabinet decorated with lotus flowers, he hesitated for a moment and decided to wear it first.
She thought that Xiao Zhan would be in the courtyard even if he was no longer in his room, but even after she walked out of the courtyard, he still did not see anyone around his. Even when he walked out of the courtyard, he did not see anyone around.
"Strange, where did he go in the early morning?"
No matter what, Xiao Zhan had helped her escape from danger yesterday.
After thinking it over, Mu Nuanzhou still felt that he had to personally thank Yue Yang for saving her. Moreover, he affectionately prepared a new set of clothes for her, but after looking around, she couldn't find anyone.
"Forget it, let's go home first. I'll come again to thank you next time!"
Along the way, Mu Nuanzhou, who had not thought of an excuse to stay the night, walked with heavy steps back to the Mu residence in worry.
She originally wanted to return home through the back door, but unfortunately, the back door was bolted shut. She could only risk being discovered and enter through the front door.
Unfortunately, her uncle and his family were having breakfast in the living room, and she just happened to be back. Mu Zhengchun put down his bowl and chopsticks and called out to her. "Warm boat!"
Mu Nuanzhou stopped and closed her eyes in silence.
Sigh! What was there to be afraid of?
"Uncle." She walked into the living room and greeted him in a low voice. She was so afraid that she didn't dare to raise her head.
"You're back so early?"
You're back so early? It looks like Uncle already knew that she had returned this morning!
Since she already knew, she wouldn't lie anyway, so it was better for her to admit it obediently. She didn't do anything wrong, and even though it was hard to say, she still had a clear conscience.
"Uncle, the reason why I didn't return home last night was because of me …" Mu Nuanzhou nervously scratched her finger and carefully worded her words, but was interrupted by Mu Zhengchun.
"Have you had breakfast? If you haven't eaten, then sit down and eat together. If you have anything to say, then talk while you eat. "
Weird, why doesn't Uncle sound like he was angry! And what about a little kindness?
Mu Nuanzhou uncertainly raised her head, and logically speaking, she should have seen Mu Zhengchun's furious face, but she never would have thought that he would actually reveal a smile that was even more amiable than usual.
Not only was her uncle kind, her aunt wasn't angry either. Her two elder sisters were very calm.
In the face of the family's abnormality, she was extremely surprised.
"Warm boat, quickly sit down. Mother Wu, quickly serve Miss Warm boat a bowl of red dates porridge." Lin Yufang pulled Mu Nuanzhou to the dining table, while instructing the servants.
Mu Nuanzhou sat down worriedly.
Mu Pingping put down her spoon and impatiently said, "Mu Nuanzhou, when did you and Qi Duo get so close? Why did they pick you up yesterday to accompany her for a chat? They even asked you to stay when it was late and specifically called to tell our family not to worry.
"Huh?" Mu Nuanzhou was completely confused. "I didn't," she wanted to say. "I didn't stay with the Qi family." Then, she thought about it and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
So the reason why Uncle didn't blame her, was because he received a call from Qi Duo, saying that she would stay at the Qi household for the night?!
How was this possible!
Who was telling that lie for her?
However, he couldn't care so much now. He had to resolve this predicament first.
After some thought, she stammered, "I … I only got to know Miss Qi after giving her the handkerchief last time."
Upon mentioning the silk handkerchief, the two sisters looked at each other and thought of the banquet that was held at the Qi family not long ago.
Presumably, it was on that day that she appeared that she had left a deep impression on Qi Duo.
Mu Qingqing wiped her mouth with a Juan Pa, jealous of her dog shit luck. She said with a smile that did not reach his eyes, "Giving a handkerchief to a lady of the Qi Family who has the most unpredictable personality, and befriend you, your little sister's social skills are truly amazing. Teach me next time."
Mu Qingqing was sour too, but her words were even more sarcastic and tactful than Mu Pingping's.
Mu Nuanzhou stirred the porridge in her bowl, and was still trying to guess who would help her. She couldn't hear clearly what Mu Qingqing was saying, and only heard what she wanted him to do, and instinctively said it out loud. "Alright."
He nodded his head absent-mindedly. To the entire family, agreeing to Zhang Xuan's request didn't seem like it at all.
Not only did she hook up with Young Marshal Xiao, she even hooked up with the young miss of the Qi family. After exchanging a few pleasantries with her own family, she really dared to agree to it.
"Mu Nuanzhou, did the Qi family not even prepare breakfast for you? "Why are you running home to eat? This isn't the way to treat a guest, are you being chased out by the Qi family?" Mu Pingping loved to observe her the most. She seized the opportunity to ask her those questions, harboring evil intentions in her heart.
The last time at the Qi Family, he failed to frame her, and had instead almost ruined his reputation. Furthermore, a few days ago, Xiao Zhan avenged her, and actually forced her to kneel, all these, one thing after another, she was very clear in her heart.
Listening to his second daughter's words, Mu Zhengchun felt that it made sense. However, as a senior, he could not be like Mu Pingping who could not keep his mouth shut, and asked while holding up his airs, "Warm boat, did you get into an awkward situation with the young miss of the Qi family yesterday? "The friendship between these girls is very wonderful."
"Uncle, I'm just worried that you guys might be worried, so I rushed back in a hurry without stopping for breakfast. I didn't cause any trouble." Mu Nuanzhou started to lie with her eyes wide open, but she was almost unable to continue. In order to not reveal her secret, she hurriedly put down her bowl and chopsticks and stood up. Uncle, I want to go and see Mammy first and report my safety to her. "
"Oh, so it's like that. It's good as long as there's no awkwardness." Mu Zhengchun nodded in relief, and gave her a few more instructions before waving her down. "Miss Qi doesn't mind our small family, so you should have good relations with her. Remember, you should try your best to get along with people in a neither haughty nor humble manner, and don't let others think that we're trying to curry favor with them. Otherwise, you might lose the Mu Family's face, so you can go first."
"Alright, I'll remember that." Mu Nuanzhou bowed slightly and obediently took his leave.
"Master, look at the attitude that the Warm Boat showed when he came back to treat us. It's obvious that he's acting a lot colder and more perfunctory than before. She would definitely interrupt you if you were to speak." Lin Yufang took the chance while Mu Nuanzhou was gone to continue serving Mu Zhengchun breakfast.
Yeah, Abba. Just look at how Sis A treated her so politely just now, she has already floated away. In the future, she will be hanging out with the Xiao family's people everyday, and that would be the same as sticking her tail up in the sky! " Mu Pingping chimed in from the side.
